The Internal Appraisal shall be conducted by the hospitals as per the guidelines prescribed by NBEMS.

Internal Appraisal includes various formal and informal assessment procedures by which evaluation of students' learning, comprehension, and academic progress is done by the teachers/ faculty to improve student attainment. The nature of evaluation to be followed in Internal Appraisal should be on Formative Norms ONLY as it shall aim to give feedback on teaching and learning and become an integral part of the effective teaching. The end goal of Internal Appraisal should be to collect information that can be used to improve the student learning process.

The purpose of the exercise is to assist the NBEMS accredited hospitals/ institutions to develop into a center of academic excellence.

Internal Appraisal is essentially positive in intent, directed towards promoting learning; it is, therefore, part of teaching. Validity and usefulness are paramount in internal appraisal and should take precedence over concerns for reliability.

The Internal Appraisal consists of three parts:

Part I: - Conduction of theory examination

Part-II: - Performance Counseling Sessions session on the performance in the theory examination

Part-III: - Work place based clinical assessment

Benefit of internal appraisal for the faculty is that they are able to determine what the students already know and to what extent. They can decide what minor modifications or major changes in the training programme are to be introduced so that all trainees can succeed in upcoming assessments. They can create appropriate lessons and activities for groups of learners or individual students and also inform students about their current progress and guide them.

Benefits of internal appraisal for students are that they become motivated to learn and take responsibility for their own learning. They can learn valuable lifelong skills such as self-evaluation, self-assessment, and goal setting and become more adept at self-assessment.

Accredited Institutions shall continue to carry out Annual Internal Appraisals of respective DNB trainees of the following batches in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by NBEMS:
